Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a system and method for automatically directing production lines which materials are distributed to.
  • the exclusive identification code contains information about the materials such as name, class, and package form.
  • the identification code can be a PN/SN (product number/serial number) from that people can directly obtain information on the materials or a bar code that is only recognized by a computer.
  • PN/SN product number/serial number
  • a manual distribution process is employed to distribute the materials, the manual distribution process depends on people to infer from the PN/SN of the materials and determine which production line the materials is distributed to and therefore easily to make mistakes during the manual distribution process, especially when the materials to be distributed have a same name as another type of materials.
  • a system for distributing materials to corresponding production line includes a scanner, a computer, and a controller, the scanner being provided for scanning identification codes of materials into the computer.
  • the computer Includes a data storage and a CPU.
  • the data storage is for storing a material-production line table that lists the identification codes and the production lines accordingly.
  • the CPU centre processing unit
  • the identification code receiving module is for receiving an identification code of materials transmitted from the scanner.
  • the production line determining module is for querying the production line of the material by searching for the identification code in material-production line table e.
  • the indication device control module is for sending a control signal to the controller to control an indication device to indicate the corresponding production line.
  • a method for distributing materials to corresponding production lines includes: receiving an identification code of the materials transmitted from the scanner; querying the production line of the material by searching for the identification code in material-production line table that lists the identification codes and the production lines accordingly; and controlling an indication device to indicate the corresponding production line.
  • FIG. 1 is a hardware infrastructure diagram of a system for distributing materials in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a function module diagram of a CPU of a computer of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a flow chart of distributing materials.
  • FIG. 1 is a hardware infrastructure diagram of a system for distributing materials in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the system includes a scanner 1 , a computer 2 , a controller 3 , and one or more indication devices 4 , each of the indication devices 4 corresponding to a production line.
  • the scanner 1 and the controller 3 connect to the computer 2 via digital interfaces.
  • the controller 3 is further connected with the indication devices 4 .
  • the indication devices 4 can be LED lamps.
  • the scanner 1 is configured for scanning identification codes of materials into the computer 2 .
  • the identification codes the scanner 1 scans into the computer 2 are bar codes.
  • the computer 2 includes a data storage 21 , a CPU (centre processing unit) 22 , and a timer 23 .
  • the data storage 21 stores a material-production line table 211 that lists the identification codes and the production lines accordingly.
  • materials to be distributed to different production lines come from different countries and are wholly taken as an example to describe how to automatically distribute the materials.
  • the bar codes of the material includes country codes.
  • the country codes indicate country of origin of the materials. Relationships between the countries and the production lines the materials are to be distributed at are shown in the following Table 1.
  • the material-product line table contains a Country Code column, a Production Line Code column, and a Production Line column. Each row in the table corresponds to the Country of origin of the material, the production line code of the material, and the production line of the material according to the Country code, the Production Line Code, and the Production Line respectively.
  • the CPU 22 includes an identification code receiving module 211 , a production line determining module 212 , and an indication device control module 213 .
  • the identification code receiving module 211 is for receiving the identification code of the materials transmitted from the scanner 1 .
  • the production line determining module 212 is for querying the production line of the material by searching for the identification code in material-production line table.
  • the indication device control module 213 is for sending a control instruction to the controller 3 signaling the indication device 4 to indicate the production line of the material. With the aide of the indication device 4 operators are able to recognize the production line of the material.
  • the controller 3 can be a 3-to-8 line decoder including three inputs and eight outputs.
  • the inputs of the 3-to-8 line decoder are correspondingly connected to three pins of a parallel interface of the computer 2 and the outputs of the 3-to-8 line decoder are respectively connected to the indication devices 4 .
  • the production line codes recorded in “Production Line code” column is encoded according to the different input of the three input of the 3-to-8 line decoder.
  • the timer 12 starts a time when the computer 2 sends the control signal to the controller 3 and informs the computer 2 when the time reaches a predetermined time.
  • the computer 2 then sends a control signal to the controller 3 to power off the indication device 4 .
  • the computer can input a control signal “000” to the controller to power off the indication device 4 .
  • FIG. 3 is a flow chart of distributing materials to a corresponding production line.
  • the scanner 1 scans the identification code of the materials into the computer 2 .
  • Step S 402 the computer 2 receives the identification code transmitted from the scanner 1 .
  • step S 403 the computer 2 queries the production line of the material by searching for the identification code in material-production line table.
  • step S 404 the computer sends a control instruction to the controller 3 signaling the indication device 4 to indicate the production line of the material.
  • step S 405 the controller 3 powers on the indication device 4 of the corresponding production line according to the control instruction transmitted from the computer 2 .
  • step S 406 the timer 23 starts a time when the computer 2 sends the controlling instruction to the controller 3 and informs the computer 2 when the time reaches a predetermined time.
  • step S 407 the computer 2 sends a control signal to the controller 3 to power off the indication device 4 .
